Birth Certificate Translation in North Carolina
North Carolina birth certificates are issued by NC DHHS Vital Records in Raleigh and by the Register of Deeds in the county of birth. Either certified copy can be apostilled by the Secretary of State.
The foreign records that come in from this state include some that almost nowhere else sees in volume, which is the part worth knowing about.

Montagnard and Hmong documentation
North Carolina has the largest Montagnard community outside Vietnam - highland peoples from the Central Highlands, resettled mainly around Greensboro, Raleigh and Charlotte - and a Hmong community concentrated in the western Piedmont. Neither group typically holds a conventional birth certificate from a functioning civil registry.
What they hold instead are refugee-processing documents, later-issued Vietnamese records, or affidavits. These are translated as exactly what they are. USCIS accepts secondary evidence where primary records cannot be had, and an accurate description of the document serves the filing far better than one dressed up as something it is not.
Central American records
Mexican, Honduran and Guatemalan certificates make up most of the remaining volume, heading to the Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham field offices. Honduran records come from the RNP and Guatemalan ones from RENAP; each has its own identifiers and security features to carry over.
